Farmer Ground to Pieces
L. Leet, aged 65, a prominent farmer, was ground to pieces on the Milwaukee track at Postville while driving across the track.
--
"Tut" the sorrel-topped scribe of the Postville Review, has seen it, and this is what he says about it: "The latest style in female headgear is a hundingarinous. It looks like a straw-stack hammered till the peak hit the ground and the sides flared up all around; then it looked so like thunger the inventor hit is akick in the backsides, to make it rare up, and dropped dead. Dame Fashion picked it up, put on a few posies, a raft of ribbon and a flummydiddle or two, labeled it 'made in Paris' priced it at fourteen plunks, and the thing goes. It's awful, but it's style."
